\f2javaws\fP Command Line
\f2javaws\fP \- Java Web Start launcher command
\f2javaws [ options ] [ URL ]\fP
Command\-line options. Options may be in any order. For a discussion of the various options, see OPTIONS below.
Uniform Resource Locator (\f2URL\fP) of the JNLP (Java Net\-work Launching Protocol) file.
The \f2javaws\fP command launches Java Web Start, which is the reference implementation of the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP). Java Web Start launches Java
applications/applets hosted on a network.
Without any options \f2javaws\fP will launch the Java JNLP Application Manager, from which users can launch
applications/applet or configure Java Web Start.
If a \f2URL\fP for a JNLP file is specified, \f2javaws\fP will launch the Java
application/applet specified in the JNLP file.
The \f2javaws\fP launcher has a set of options that are supported in the current release. However, the options may be removed in a future release. All \f2\-X\fP options are non\-standard and subject to change.
Runs Java Web Start in offline mode.
Removes a specific
application/applet from the user's cache, as indicated by the URL for the JNLP file. If \f2<URL>\fP is not specified, the entire cache is removed. Java Web Start will exit after the command is completed.
Updates the Java Web Start configuration file based on the current machine's settings. Java Web Start will exit after the command is completed.
Clears the user's cache. Java Web Start will exit after the command is completed.
Disables the display of the initial splash screen.
Imports the application specified by URL into the user's cache but does not run it.
When used with the \f2\-import\fP option, imports in silent mode;
i.e., there will be no UI pop up. The process exit code will be either 0 if successful or 1 if not.
Replaces the codebase with \f2<url>\fP in the jnlp file specified when importing the resources. \f2<url>\fP must be a valid \f2URL\fP.
Uses the system cache instead of the user cache.
Allows the creation of shortcuts during silent import.
Allows the creation of associations during silent import.
If specified, replaces the arguments in the jnlp file with \f2\-open <arguments>\fP.
\f2\-print <arguments>\fP
If specified, replaces the arguments in the jnlp file with \f2\-print <arguments>\fP.
Runs in online mode (default behavior).
Runs the Java Application Cache Viewer (default if no URL is specified).
\f2\-userConfig <property name>\fP
Clears the specified deployment property.
\f2\-userConfig <property name> <property value>\fP
Sets the specified deployment property to the specified value.
If specified, the \f2javaws\fP process will not exit until the application exits.
